HP Elitebook / Win7pro, 4GB, IE9. I've got 2 with the same issue and 2 without. Same domain, same rights and policies.

The issue (very specific):
The users navigate to yahoo travel, fill in the correct parameters...submit the request and can't get a response from the site.
I've reloaded IE9, cleared cache, matched all settings with a functioning, working / similar laptop.
I've tried chrome, safari, firefox with the same result. I've deleted all of the 'HP security' fluff.
These user are not complaining about an inability to navigate or retrieve requested info from any other site (yet).
Could be proprietary yahoo function or I've missed a security setting.

I have not had this particular problem, but I have seen, on my home system running IE9, Yahoo mail (almost) always tells me that I need to upgrade my browser to "the latest version" of IE in order to display mail correctly. I don't have the issue at work on IE 9, and I never had the problem on IE 7 or 8. Chrome and FF don't give me the same message.

I wonder if it's a problem with the browser identifier string in the registry. I can't recall what key it is though...

Check the security tab of internet options? Maybe there is something not set to default, or you need to add the sites to the trusted site? IE9 has been a little sticky with our sales staff laptops here as well.

Roll back to IE8, we had to due to multiple issues with IE9 and Intranet websites.

Hate to say it, but I have to agree. I had a couple users, plus myself, guinea pig'n IE9 for quite a while. I still have it installed, but rarely use it. I had to roll back my users as they could not do their day-to-day jobs with it. IE9 is just not ready for rollout for a lot of companies out there. Literally, 40% of the websites my users need every day just do not play nice with IE9. In fact, many will state that on their main page. "IE8 and previous versions only."
